University Interview
Posted on November 23rd, 2007 in School/IB Program |
It was mellow. The guy was great and helpful and everything, but I feel as if I didn’t put enough effort into it. It lasted about 35 minutes… and we started off talking about China and Canada and Russia. The program I’m applying to requires a proficiency in a second language, so we spent a bit of time talking about that. I learned tons about Philly, Wharton, U. Penn, and the tax business lol (he kept recommending it). I think I made a really stupid mistake in not going into the challenging courses I’m taking more. And I completely forgot about my 350+ hours of documented volunteer/community service hours, alkfdjaskd!!
They say Penn interviews don’t matter that much, and the interviewer usually just gives advice. That was definitely the case. Now the nerveswrecking wait begins! In the mean time, UC applications start… and I’ll have to run around getting forms again for the half a dozen or so December deadline applications.
I just want some sleep…

That’s good that it went well, but yeah, CAS would definitely have been a good thing to mention, oh well, i’m sure you made a good enough impression anyway!
Good luck with all the rest of your applications.
Wow, it sounds like it went well! I’m so proud of you! *hugs*
Heh, it excites me, it really does. It reminds me of the movies when kids go college interviews
I didn’t get to do the whole interviewing process, universities here base solely on GPA and SAT, not even the top two universities here ask for extracurriculars, volunteering etc. As long as you’ve got great numbers you’re in, no fun!
Anyway, I really hope you get into your school of choice
BTW, what is your school of choice?
Oh, gee! Well, if that’s the advice you get about that particular school’s interviewers, then it’s probably true. Don’t sweat too much over it.
Good luck!
Wow, I hope that you get into the school of your choice! I’m glad I didn’t have such a stressful college app process. None of the schools I applied to required essays or interviews from me.
Good luck. And you could actually do your apps online for most schools! That should save you some stress because you can use the Auto-Fill feature to fill in common app info.
Good luck with everything.. it certainly sounds like you’ve got a lot on your plate, at the moment.
Keep up the good work, but do give yourself “me” time every pnce in a while. We all need breaks or we’ll break.
Good luck with it! Man, I keep forgetting important things when I’m interviewed too!
I’m glad it went well!
My university has got a student exchange with U. Penn, and I’ve heard it was a very good place.
Good luck with all your deadlines!
It sounded like it went really well! I’m sure you’ll get a call very soon! Best of luck! :cute:
oh, I hope everything went well for you!
Exciting and challenging times ahead for you.
Good luck.
Good luck with school and your future!
I am going through the SAME THING. I have to write so many essays and fill out a bunch of suplements yet… on top of school work and finals! It’s gonna be a rough month. Best of luck! :biggrin:
